Examples of hyperdiversity

  

An Overview on Hyperdiversity

Hyperdiversity is a phenomenon seen at both organismal and ecological levels of biodiversity.

Some taxa contain only a few species, whilst others have hundreds of thousands or more.

  • Why might high speciation rates occur in some taxonomic groups?

Some ecological systems harbour a disproportionately large share of the world's biodiversity.

  • What processes can generate high species- richness in certain ecological systems?
